Exactly lol. These scam guys always claim to have well-paying jobs or be otherwise financially thriving, because it draws the victim in. But why the hell are these women not scratching their heads when their well-off "boyfriend" begs for money for food, medicine and other basic essentials? It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
It’s real. Men fall for the scams too. They think some young sexy woman wants their old flabby body. They’re in communication with an Nigerian man and not a sexy woman.
No, he didn't get mad about this. He didn't even know I got new jeans. This is why I don't like this video on this they got alot wrong. I got more to say and didn't get to say it.
They won't do anything because screwing YOURSELF is your business. You volunteered to give money to a scammer. People did everything to help you. You wouldn't listen. You made your bed now sleep in it.
It's so hard to watch these victims try to justify their scammers words and actions. I don't feel that Jodi has the tools to move forward and needs professional therapy.
Loneliness doesn’t lead to stupidity…a person shouldn’t give money even if they meet & just started dating. If a person can’t add happiness to ur life u shouldn’t be with them. This is crazy, dating shouldn’t ruin u financially.
It is so incredibly sad how loneliness causes this delusion. People are so desperate to be loved they don’t seem to realize how ridiculous this ‘relationship’ really is.
@@living_dead_girl1990 we not on here to compare military medical care insurance, it's a scammers commentary section. dessaml 18 just making a strong point.
@@living_dead_girl1990 most things are basically free. If there is a cost it is low, but that's if you see an outsider provider. I was miltary. My husband is currently military. If you go on post it won't cost you a dime. Half the reason people join the military is for the insurance and the education, and the BAH....very few join because they are just that patriotic....
It's so disturbing when the scam victims persist in referring to the scammer as if he's real. I've heard this in other videos too - no matter how much evidence is given to them, no matter how upset they seem, they keep talking about all the things this man sent them, or the places he's stationed, etc. without any convincing comprehension that the person is a figment of their imagination.
It takes a long time for victims to process the reality of what happened to them. Many don't accept it right away because it means their entire world will collapse if they accept reality
@@susaninika7552 I agree. We are seeing her being told for the very first time that after 7 years he doesn't exist. She was still defending him. She needs time to recover from this both emotionally and financially.
I'm a 62 year old woman and I've used several dating sites plus Facebook. I've been approached by these scammers more times than I can count. There's always dead giveaways like the person says they have advanced degrees yet make simple English grammar mistakes. Also, I've been around long enough to know that men don't love bomb you unless they're trying to take advantage of you. The life they're trying to sell doesn't appeal to me at all. After awhile, you realize the scammers aren't even very creative. They follow the same MO over and over.
Amen! The love bomb "technique" is a standard ploy of a diagnosed NARCISSIST!!!! First comes the lovey-dovey part, presents...then they treat you like dirt!!!!!
Even if that man turned out to be 100% real, why would she want to love someone that has taken everything from her for 7 years and wouldn't want the love of his life to have a bed to sleep in or a lousy pair of shoes. Honey, queen, sweetheart... more like bullshit.
Unfortunately this women deserves everything she gets and the fact that she defends him in spite of social catfish pointing out the fact that he is so obviously a scammer but she probably can’t get anyone else
OMG! She is making excuses for a person who doesn't even exist. It doesn't matter how much proof they show this woman she will never accept this is a scam.
She would be ecstatic if her boyfriend was cross with her for buying a new pair of jeans. Since I saw Jody in another episode, I know she is beyond help…
It's sad - but there are MANY older ladies who have lost partners, their youth and their youthful beauty. Some deal with significant health issues. Their kids are grown. But they still have fulfilling lives because they choose to and put the effort into it. They invest in themselves and contribute to their communities and society, they volunteer, and connect with like-minded others. They have rich lives because they decide to. This lady is delusional and has no self-awareness. She's thrown away tens of thousands of dollars, but won't even get herself some teeth. She's a victim of herself as much as the scammer. I wish she'd get some counseling/therapy.
Who believes the military would let you starve? The military feeds you, makes sure you and your family gets medical care, and housing! When will people learn??
Exactly! The military is well provided for. One scammer pretending to be a soldier told me his internet subscription is expiring. All I can think of is, the military provides their soldiers internet. They don’t need to ask strangers for money.
Be careful all you people who judge. I could happen to you. The process is much more complex than you imagine !!! We are not absolute suckers. At least l’m not!!! 😂😇🙏
My son is Army. He eats better than I do and his wife is on a post in Alaska in an apt. bigger than my whole house. They even pick her up to take her to the Commissary when the snow is blowing across the road. For the life of me, I don't understand how anyone believe a US soldier would EVER go hungry. BTW the Chow hall cooks better than I do and I have been cooking for 40yrs.
As an Army wife I can verify that active service members get free Healthcare for their self, spouse and all dependents so that is further proof that he is lying and would not need to borrow money for his son's medical bills. My heart goes out to Jodi and she can find the love of her life if she will put this scam behind her . No one that loves you would accept money that you need to support yourself due to disability.
well, no shit, we get free healthcare for life! and my husband is deceased. We still get free fucking healthcare. These women are so fucking simple. They are so ignorant. Their IQs are in the double digits I refuse to believe otherwise because there is no one in gods green earth this stupid.
The lady explaining the scam to her needed to lay it out in simpler terms so she could better understand. I could tell Jodi had no clue what a stock photo was…
IKR? The tech goes over old people's heads. They also need to show the targets what the inside of a scammer boiler room actually looks like. Because a pix tells a thousand words.
@@kathrynj.hernandez8425exactly, or just an Internet cafe where the scammers work in West Africa. I’ve never been to Nigeria but I went to Accra, Ghana for work, and I was shocked to see Internet cafes full of little boys with a bunch of WhatsApp windows open 😂
I don't mean to be cruel; I genuinely feel sorry for these people, but these men in the pictures are out of these women's league. I don't understand why they would think these men would be interested in them. I can't be too critical however, as I was taken by religious scammers in "ministry." There's nothing worse than giving "unto the Lord," only to find you didn't give one dime to God, but to greedy, covetous, conniving wolves.
What is so infuriating is that fact that even after she states that he gets mad at her for buying things for herself, and limiting money from him, she’s like “If you find out he’s real we will be on cloud 20!” Like what???? Why would you want to be in a relationship like that???
because she’s desperate and she knows that she can’t get anything better than this. She has nothing to offer. She brings nothing to the table. She can’t attract the kind of man that she thinks that she deserves in real life. If I’m gonna be perfectly blunt, she can attract any man of any standing in real life the best she can hope for is to get scammed by some fucking weirdo in West Africa, who gives her a little bit of attention. That’s what she’s looking for and that’s what she’s paying for him. That’s what she’s getting so far as I’m concerned, she is not a victim, and she can carry on being stupid.
Well, honestly, she's fat and ugly and not many people will want to date her. She's latching on to what she can get ahold of. I think she should have a different attitude, there must be a real person that can appreciate her out there, but I guess she's desperate. She said the dating site didn't have any results for a while. I recently tried Tinder and I have dozens of people waiting to match with me... something like 70 matches already... I've met ten or so in person. I think women get more attention than men (I'm a man, and a dashingly attractive one at that, of course..), so I guess if she got no attention after a long time, it may not be the right method for her. Or maybe Tinder just works better than Match, I dunno, I never tried anything else before. I was with someone most of my life before this.
My hubby died a while ago and I have no family. I would not, however, go down the dating avenue. Instead I have my animals and my horse which keeps me occupied. I feel for people like her. She needs to be her own boss.

It was pretty ridiculous, but when you're this delusional that doesn't matter. You or I would immediately notice it, but I think she knows it's bullshit too, but she's desperate to believe it's true.
I’m widowed and a bit lonely, had someone message me yesterday, said they were a plastic surgeon, but they are so full on with there compliments, made me feel sick. I blocked him. These people must be desperate.
Or my love. I would cringe if my husband of almost 20 years texted me and called me either of those nauseating terms of endearment. Even worse when they ask "their queen" to send them money.

@@wardiya3arbiya And the attention. I don't know why she had to find out from these people "if he was real" when she said quite clearly she had previously gone to the FBI and the police and tried to report it. These interviews are very weird.
I may sound harsh but an older unattractive lonely person should not be on any dating website because scammers target people like that all the time. Easy target for them.
No. This was the most realistic match. You're talking about 70 year old men thinking a 20 something year old is madly in love with them. Not the same as Jodi.
She never really wanted to do a video chat with him because she does not want to be seen. These men know this. They know the woman are much more unattractive then their photos. This is a truth that needs to be told.
She’s living with her elderly mother who’s paying the rent and bills, and sending her SS money to him! That’s infuriating! That’s not fair to her mother or the taxpayers
Hey, this isn't limited to one gender. Older men get scammed, too, by attractive young things half their age. If you're of a certain age, naive, and lonely, you can fool yourself pretty easily.
It's not gender specific. Not Romance specific too. Similar channels are presenting victims of other methods of scamming(specially nft/crypto) displaying the same behaviour.
I think she is lonely. If she is that deperate, she should go Africa and keep all her money in her pocket. I mean men can go abroad, why can't she? I think also, she can try a bar, club or a pub instead before going abroad
@@fearless6947 She doesn't have to go that far (Africa), there are guys in the Dominican Republic, specially in the beach areas, specializing in "women like her," it would be a lot cheaper and she would get a taste of the "real thing."
These women need a reality check, a look in the mirror, and a court appointed guardian or rep payee because they don’t have the ability to competently manage their own funds.
I don't understand how they believe they are beautiful if I looked like most of these women now that they are older. Yes, I looked good when young too (judging by the fact that I always had plenty of dates and marriage proposals), but now... my mirror tells me the truth and a man will only want me for my money now or that he looks just as worn out as I do!
@@dianestahr4421 I wouldn't have lent him any and suggested he try family, friends, or a bank loan first. If they don't have any money saved, I'm not interested in them because then they will want to spend all of mine too! I'm the Ant and if he is the Grasshopper, it would not work out for us. 'The Ant and the Grasshopper' fable = ant works and saves and grasshopper fiddles around instead of being responsible. Actually, I'm not interested in meeting someone online anyway - relationships mean too much drama in my life and I am really self-sufficient on my own.
One thing that could also work is to tell these freeloaders that one is staying at a homeless shelter about to be kicked out. They would run for the hills lol
When someone says they are stuck in a foreign nation my first thought would be, "why not go to the local embassy or consulate?" That is one of the services they provide.
I will say this....Linny has the patience of a saint! With every excuse that Jodi was making on the scammer's behalf I could feel myself becoming more and more frustrated. This is one of those cases where I think Adult Social Services needs to be called in. Jodi mentioned that she was living with her mother. I can almost guarantee that the precious few resources that they have are being given to the scammer while Jodi's *elderly* mother is going without.
Jodi, please stop. you deserve so much better than the abuse being inflicted upon you by these scammers. i know your heart is hurting & it's hard to believe the truth & let it go but you must do this, 7yrs of your time & caring going to thieves who are not just stealing your money but also your heart & freedom. please, BLOCK ALL OF THEM NOW & move forward for yourself, they have made you miss out on a lot in the last 7yrs of your life & should not recieve even 1 more second of it. go live your life for YOU. 💙
She's going to fall and end up in a nursing home and still babbling about her military boyfriend. My aunt was on SSDI for 40 years and it would go in one ear and out the other, like with her. My aunt was 100% dependent on the government and her family for support and would give away anything she had to bogus charity and telemarketers, etc. The only reason she didn't have contact with romance scammers was because my dad refused to allow her to have access to the internet, and she didn't know how to set up internet service herself, so she was protected from that aspect.
There are plenty of real people on dating sites who go on real dates with other people. The point of dating sites is to find people to actually date, not chat with online. If you can't meet for a date after a few days, move on to someone else.
I think this scammed woman needs walked through in a more simplistic fashion the information about this scammer and how it contradicts what she was being told by the scammer. She doesn't seem to understand many of the points the scam buster lady is highlighting.
I have seen the video where she was talking to Art and Ashton from Trilogy Media. Those 2 guys were incredibly patient with her even though you could tell she was playing mind games with them. Ashton was really calm talking to her on the phone in New York while Art was exploding like a volcano. She is an incredibly sad and scary example of a tragic romance scam victim
It's also a lesson in nuance. She's 100% racist. Just because someone is being scammed doesn't mean they are a good person. Not saying she deserves this treatment, but the irony of her saying she doesn''t even like to look at a guy in CHURCH because he's black, while blindly sending all of there money to a scammer that is almost certainly black is a case study in willful ignorance. Honestly, I think the answer here is that this woman needs psychological help and possibly a conservatorship.
I saw that one too, and it got annoying after a while. Within 3 seconds of hearing "Collin" on the phone, I heard the accent. I think she's refusing to see the truth, which is another reason why Art exploded. I probably would have exploded too. She seriously needs help in one way or another, because I don't believe anyone can be that stupid and think that there isn't a scammer behind this.
@@NavyLady82 SSI is for people who never made enough or never really paid taxes when they were younger and this is how they survive. SSDI is for people who have worked for years and paid taxes during their working lifetime up until they qualified for Social Security disability insurance.
I feel so incredibly sorry for this lady. I work at a bank and we talk to customers who we think are being catfishes, but they never believe us. I’ve witnessed people giving their entire life savings away. So, so sad.
I know an older guy that was scammed several times there was a class action lawsuit where this money transfer company paid thousands of dollars to "victims" of these scams, including this man I know. Now you can get compensated for being stupid, apparently.
their absolutely paying a high price for a fantasy, it's a awful mix of loneliness, fear of being alone and desperation. I pray I never get in such a state
So true, love this comment! Totally agree with you here. Please, lets we all live in reality, if you're dateless in real life, you'll be dateless online too, and that means only scammers will message you...PERIOD!
Exactly!! These women really think that they are attracting young, handsome and rich men that would NEVER be romantically interested in them in real life. It’s nuts.
My gosh! This is so 😥. People get so desperate for any type of attention and love. I think she is a little slow, hence the disability. I really hope, for her sake, she blocks him and takes better care of herself and finds some friends in the facebook group and a nice companion who is real and will appreciate her.
@@ginajoseph8776 Then 'slow' people who are on disability should have someone to oversee their money! Interesting how some disabled people have lots of money to waste on a scammer without someone catching on that they are being used. I know they try to keep it a secret, but really... Giving challenged people access to all their funds without accountability is like giving a lot of money to most teenagers!
Back before "retarded" was a slur word, it was an accurate description of where some people sit on the scale of intelligence. There are a lot of people out there with sub-normal intelligence and little to no emotional intelligence. This poor woman seems to be one of them.
I will say this: yesterday some guy got in touch with me on FB. Seemed nice...but for the first time ever, asked me for money. You know what I did? I told him no, go get your own iTunes giftcard-and blocked him. I was tired of the back and forth crap. I knew he wanted something. He tried to manipulate by saying: if you were my friend you’d do this for me. Yeah, sorry sir but you are a stranger to me and NOT a friend! Friends don’t ask other friends for money!
@@demelzapoldark3035 yes! I saw that one. It’s pretty tragic. One small incident can lead to major ones later on down the line. And it’s almost always the victim’s fault because they sent them the money willingly.
a scammer is not going to care though. They will go all the way, even if it means her selling her house and her being in a large amount of dept. Yeah it's sad :(
PRECISELY!!!! I feel so bad for her but it's so glaringly obvious that she has a good deal of common sense but chooses to negate it whenever and however she pleases to placate her emotions even if it is causing her to suffer and depend on her mother who is EVEN more elderly and resource stricken than her!!!! My GOD!!!!
She doesnt want to believe that she got scammed. She sounded like she was getting offended when SocialCat fish was trying to explain to her that she was being scammed and making up excuses for him. SMH a fool and their money will soon part...
@@abdurrahmanwakeel3923 Oh come on now. Anyone with common sense can see that this is a scam. "God" has NOTHING to do with this. This woman is delusional and in denial. I'm sorry but she isn't very attractive and she's very old. Did she really think a man that looked like that guy in the picture would be into her??? Again this is all common sense and she obviously lacks it...
There are many ways of scamming people, you are just as vulnerable but through other methods, so don't be too quick to judge her, it was a dating web site and she just took it literally, sad that she wasn't more realistic in her expectations but then that's true of all of us. Yes, sorry, just watching the whole thing and you are right, she is a fool and its almost deliberate, as if she wants attention and is willing to sacrifice all, including her Mother, for it!
Sometimes I think these women know in their heart of hearts this is not real but they pay to have this entertainment/ the distractions / excitement in their lives without having to worry about meeting the person in person and being disappointed with the reality (until the very end). It’s pretty sick. And shame on the scammers.
Shame on this lady who refuses to believe proof or accept help. Lots people trying to help her. Listen to her make excuses for him! If u watch the videos you will learn she’s also very racist.
@@ironbutterfly6835right, I saw THAT video of her before this one and for a moment was like “they’re helping her again?!” That other video was unreal 🤡😤
I totally agree, same type of deal as the people on 90 day fiance who are clearly being used for green cards, but they don't really even care bc it allows them to be with someone way out of their league. But yeah I can see how this would be even more ideal since they don't have to actually meet IRL and worry about real world disappointments.
@@darllalett960 Yep. My father ret AF and previous military brat. I concur. This story should have never happened with just a few questions at the very beginning. Low self esteem.
She’s a classic example of Jack Nicolson, “you can’t handle the truth!” Delusional. Not hating on her or her sad journey of 7 years but…🤦🏽♀️ You can’t protect everyone. Especially when the facts were right in front of her. To each their own 🤷🏽♀️
For goodness sake Woman. This lady is trying to help you. Wake up. This same photo has been used for friend requests on facebook. Sorry Colin is not who he says he is. Probably a Nigerian scammer.
Oh dear Jodi! Lose some weight, get rid of your mustache, get your teeth fixed, color and cut your hair, buy a pretty new blouse. There, now you are ready to join a few groups in the town where you live. A church group, a choral society, a dance group, etc. you may find you have met. Lovely lonely man to share a movie date, and a drink!
I'm ex-military, and when you're deployed you have access to internet chat areas where you can call home etc. and you can Skype with friends and loved ones for a few minutes. Plus, if you're dating someone who is Military, you can reach out to their Home Base and ask about them, they will give you limited info, but may tell you IF they are, indeed, Military. One more crucial point is that Military have good Health services, and access to money for emergency use; there should be no reason for someone in the Military to request money from anyone.
So sad that she cannot seem to accept he is a scammer. Many facts were given and she kept trying to protect him. Seven years is a long time. This must be so traumatic for her. She just wants to be loved. I think she may have difficulty blocking him unless she gets counselling to help her cut the ties. I feel for her. Those scammers, their day will come.
She’s clearly emotionally invested and probably is gaining some company from this scammer. People who get scammed I feel like don’t h e a very good support system and these scammers fill a void which is how they get so easily sucked in
@@sharontaniguchi9886 I understand this, we all want to feel loved. But we have to have common sense also. As elderly people, we need to be very careful who we let in our circle of life. To many get taken advantage of. 😶
@Kimberly Shepley in a update from only 3 months ago she was still at it with this same catfish! She either needs to be put under a conservatorship or have zero access to her own bank accounts online. She's not even making it difficult. It's both sad and infuriating. I absolutely understand a lot of people who get scammed are there because they're lonely but she's had all the evidence put right in front of her and she still refuses to believe. It gets hard to feel sorry for them when they're basically helping their scammer by being willfully ignorant. This entire episode was made to help her see he's a scammer and she chose to not believe it and kept throwing her money at him.
These stories remind me of a very old song we learnt at school. It starts "Soldier, Soldier won't you marry me with your musket, fife and drum" and goes on to tell the story of a young woman who wants a Soldier to marry her but he says he can't because he doesn't have the right clothing. She gives him all the fine clothing from her Grandfathers chest and once he has cleared her out reveals he can't marry her because he is already married with children. I think people should keep this song in mind so they know the perils of believing someone who is quite clearly stringing them along to get all they can out of them. At least the soldier in the song was real, even if he was a rotten person.
@Andrew Salter Nothing to do with feminism. What you are describing about thinking a lady is a queen and deserves the best is the same as every 40 year old thinking they can pull 20 year olds. So many guys on social apps in 40-50 trying to pass for 30 year olds, it’s sad. Anyone paying attention can tell actual age from photos. Seems to go across sexes. I would agree that people need to be realistic tho, look for similar age, similar appearance. Take the average of people you are matching with, if it looks like you hit a jackpot all of a sudden, sure talk and try to video chat but be cautiously optimistic and take time getting to know the person.
@Andrew Salter I'm a 61-year-old widow. The answer for middle-aged and elderly women is to NOT CARE. Not care that you don't have a man. I don't care. I don't care now, but it took some effort. I cared during the first few years of widowhood. The reason too many women do care is that females are conditioned from childhood to think that they are nothing if they don't have a man. They are conditioned from childhood to believe that no amount of education or accomplishment or intelligence is nearly as important, admirable, and enviable as a high level of attractiveness to men. And that conditioning is not feminist propaganda. It's quite the opposite.
@Andrew Salter I do thank you for saying, "Men don't care about a woman's career or status." It's true, but the issue isn't only women who don't believe it. The issue is also men who deny it, knowing in their heart of hearts that it's true.
@Andrew Salter Well, I am so far left you could call me a Progressive, but I'm not a knee-jerk Progressive. I decry the high divorce rate, hate the divorce culture we've created, and believe that divorce should be much harder to obtain than it is. But I don't blame feminism for the high divorce rate. Divorce used to be rare because 1. It was difficult to get. 2. There was a strong social stigma to being divorced and 3. People did not expect from marriage what they expect today. It was considered a social contract, and not a social contract which was expected to bring one overwhelming joy and delirious happiness every day of one's life. Well, now divorce is easy to get, there's no social stigma, and everyone, men and women, have been conditioned to think that one should expect marriage to be Nirvana every year for the rest of one's life. Change those three things, and human nature dictates that the divorce rate is going to skyrocket. I don't see that tied to feminism at all. I don't see what feminism has to do with single mothers. I think few single mothers want to be single. I don't give a rip how many abortions there are, as abortion is a minor medical procedure which the overwhelming majority of women do not regret undergoing five years later. As for some small minority of women actually hating men, well, perhaps it's wrong to hate an entire gender, but trust me, there are just as many, if not more, men who hate women. That too is human nature.
@Andrew Salter No, I don't think that exactly. I think that many things are better now than in the 1950s, just that the divorce rate isn't one of them. I support sexual freedom, and I've done some "sleeping around" myself, before I was married and after I was widowed. I just believe that once a commitment is made and there are children involved, the commitment should be honored unless there is abuse involved. Free sexual behavior doesn't bother me. I agree that some people suffer from what I call "stupid conception", but I also think that free, readily available contraception would go a long way to solving that. As for abortion, I don't agree that it's "killing a baby", but it would take a lot of space to make my argument, so I won't bother for that reason and for the reason that people rarely change their minds about abortion, no matter what is said by those on the other side of the fence.
I can tell that sadly she’s not gonna block him...wish they would do an update...also they need to offer links to a damn therapist...just my 2 cents here 🤷
I was wounded in Afghanistan and in addition to my medical retirement from the service I also get SSDI. I was only an E5 and in for 8 years so don’t think I’m getting rich. I have military friends in similar circumstances and they struggle to get approved for SSDI. Once the government has a confession from someone that they are not using their money for living expenses it should be withdrawn. If she can spend this much time on a computer she can work at a call center. Makes me sick 🤮
Please do NOT judge her! This type of thing can happen to ANYONE...no matter how smart you THINK you are! You have to understand these guys(and girls) come at you in a very unsuspecting way...they KNOW how to lower your guard, talk to you for quite a while and “groom” you like ANY disgusting predator does, so that by the time they ask for ANYTHING(which is usually VERY small at first) your like ok sure I can help you out...they throw excuses at you left and right...the hood con men and women have an excuse for EVERY THING and often times it’s believable stuff...plus they make YOU think YOUR crazy!! Classic narcissist abuse too...I fought with my scammer on a DAILY basis that he was just a liar and using me for money but they can talk their way out of ANYTHING and argue with you for so long you forget what it was you were questioning!! DON’T just assume we all just accept what these losers are saying and that we are NOT smart enough or have enough “common sense” to know better, people that have NEVER been through such a thing have NO idea what psychological impacts this type of scam involves.

They aren't. They are getting the money because they are disabled and instead of using the money to take care of themselves they get scammed out of it.
She’s no longer getting scammed. Now that she knows for sure he is not real, she’s simply paying for his company. The least she could do is try to negotiate a better rate for herself.
